Document Summary

Look at the form films take, how films are constructed. Have to be aware of how everything a part of the film interact. Films are a collaborative affair, so they are made/written by the context of what is marketed. Every frame of a film has been textualized with every other frame of a film. Object of the film is not necessarily the object we want to talk about. The meaning is elsewhere, not in that frame. Film works in both directions; not linear: one frame will give meaning to another frame. Ex: frame 4 may reference or suggest something in frame 1. Barthes says that film does not have an absolute meaning. Film always has a meaning that is contingent on something else. Filming in relationship to something that"ll happen after that. So the first thing i film may not matter then because it"s pointing to something i reference later.
